You were a cargomaster? If so I bow before your obviously superior skillset.

I liked the comment from ATC on the C17 with people crammed everywhere onboard during the Afgan exit fracas: "You have 600 people on board? Nice job on takeoff"

I was trying to estimate the gross of that load, but ended up thinking it was just plain overweight. Maybe not since it will do 170,000 lbs so about 300 lbs per person allowable.
